« Sea, sex and sun » : la sexualité dans la mythologie du surf way of life

Genre, Sexualité et Société, 2010
The “Surf way of life”, a lifestyle based on sensual pleasures, is often presented as “liberating”. Born in the fifties on californian beaches, surf riding is, rather than a sport, a “philosophy” or a “way of life” according to passionate surfers.

Les modes d’appropriations de l’espace « vague » sur le littoral français

Géographie et Cultures, 2011
The surf riding experiencing known constant development over the past forty years and the entire French coastline is invested by riders: surfers, of course, but also windsurfers and kitesurfers.

Surf-riding/Broaching Assessment within Second Generation Intact Stability Criteria [PDF]

, 2020
This thesis focuses on the study of surf-riding phenomenon, that is one of the failure modes dealt by the Second Generation Intact Stability Criteria (SGISC).

Surging of Large Amplitude and Surf-riding of Ships in Following Seas

Journal of the Society of Naval Architects of Japan, 1989
In the previous papers, the surf-riding of a ship in the regular following waves was examined by the self-running model tests as well as the numerical simulatione. It was clarified that the surf-riding occurs when the ship speed including the steady oscillatory component due to the surging motion, after the decay of the transitional motion, reaches the

‘Dancing about architecture’: The fraught practice and chequered history of writing about the physical act of wave riding

, 2021
It has been said of music journalism, that writing about music is like dancing about architecture, a flawed and pointless exercise, the wrong medium for the artform. One might regard surf writing similarly.

An Experimental and Numerical Study of Long Wave Run-Up on a Plane Beach

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2015
This research is to facilitate the current understanding of long wave dynamics at coasts and during on-land propagation; experimental and numerical approaches are compared against existing analytical expressions for the long wave run-up.

SenseCam image localisation using hierarchical SURF trees [PDF]

, 2009
The SenseCam is a wearable camera that automatically takes photos of the wearer's activities, generating thousands of images per day. Automatically organising these images for efficient search and retrieval is a challenging task, but can be simplified ...

On the Surf-riding of a Ship

Journal of the Society of Naval Architects of Japan, 1982
When travelling in heavy following sea a ship is accelerated on the front slope of a wave and her velocity may become nearly the same as the wave celerity. This phenomenon is called surf-riding and may cause broaching-to, which is very dangerous situation for small craft.

Optoelectronic Synaptic Devices Using Molecular Telluride Phase‐Change Inks for Three‐Factor Learning

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Optoelectronic synaptic devices based on solution‐processed molecular telluride GST‐225 phase‐change inks are demonstrated for three‐factor learning. A global optical signal broadcast through a silicon waveguide induces non‐volatile conductance updates exclusively in locally electrically flagged memristors.

Template‐Confined Synthesis of Shape‐Engineered Single‐Crystal Gold Microplates in Lithographically‐Defined Polymeric Patterns

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Single‐crystal gold microplates are high‐performance nanomaterials with an impressive wafer‐based application space. Progress has, however, been tempered by an inability to exert synthetic control over microplate size, shape, and positioning. In this work, control over these parameters is demonstrated using a seed‐mediated synthesis that both confines ...
